They Appeared Just After I Said "Mysterious"

Photo date: September 28, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Yesterday I was watching a Travel Channel TV show about strange things happening in a national park. The person on the TV said the word "mysterious," and for some reason I repeated the word. A few seconds later I photographed the mysterious striped orbs below, which appeared in the same photo.

Both Night Orbs Shared the Same Stripe

Photo date: September 25, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows two mysterious orbs I photographed in the sky. Very oddly, both orbs seem to be sharing a single stripe.   This is the 388th time I have photographed in dry air an orb with a stripe.  See here for other examples.

As you can see in this series of photos, I have many times photographed mysterious orbs exactly aligned with a row of lights at Grand Central Terminal.  The grid below shows some of these photos.

Half Orbs

Almost all of the mysterious orbs I get are fully circular, but occasionally one of my Sony cameras picks up what looks like half orbs.  Below are some examples, from September 26, 2017, August 23, 2017, and July 31, 2017. See here and here for lots of other examples of such half-orbs.

The Ring Inside the Blue Orb

Photo date: September 25, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

My previous post showed 8 small orbs that each had a small ring inside them. The photo below also shows an orb with what looks like a small ring inside it. I took this photo at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

All 8 Had the Same Little Ring Inside Them

Photo date: September 25, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but pure, clean drops of water falling against a dark background. We see 8 white circular objects that each have inside them a small ring-like structure.  See here for other photos showing the same strange thing.

Another "TV Precognition" Experience?

In the post here I described an astonishing event in which there popped into my head for some reason an idea for something that would be funny on a TV show I was watching -- the concept of magician Michael Carbonaro putting a frozen fish into a microwave, and then later removing from the microwave a live moving fish. Within 60 seconds the TV show (which I had never watched before) had exactly such a sequence of events occurring.

Last night something similar happened. I turned my TV to the Turner Classic Movies station, which was showing a 1984 comedy movie I have never watched before: This Is Spinal Tap.  A few seconds after turning to this channel, for some reason there pops into my mind a memory of a quote from the movie, in which a dimwitted character incorrectly said something like "Boston isn't a college town."  The memory may have come from a review I read of the movie in 1984.  About 10 seconds after recalling this memory, I hear something like this on the TV:

Character 1: We had to cancel the Boston concert.
Character 2: Don't worry, Boston isn't much of a college town.

Events like this (suggesting precognition) don't fit in with our existing ideas about how time works. But there are speculative models of time in which precognition could be occurring. For a discussion of one such model, see my post "Does the Future Splash on the Present?"

Diana's "Cosmic Light Snake"

The very talented photographer Diana Davatgar has published many astonishing orb photos on her Facebook feed.  She gets an orb-related phenomenon that is very spectacular: what she calls the "cosmic light snake." Her photos of this show a huge number of small colorful balls forming into a variety of astonishing shapes, often snake-like.  Many of these photos can be seen by using this link, which may require a Facebook login (although it's worth the trouble, because the photos are spectacular).  The phenomenon she is photographing seems to resemble the mist-like thing called ecto-mist, which I don't have very much luck in getting, but which other anomaly photographers often get very dramatically. Diana's "cosmic light snake" may be a colorful form of ecto-mist.

On the very rare days in which there is fog in New York City, I have occasionally photographed natural fog orbs; but they look nothing like what is shown in Diana's photos of this "cosmic light snake."

A Speeding Striped Orb

Photo date: September 21, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a striped speeding orb that I photographed indoors.  The camera has captured two different position states of a speeding object, and we can see a stripe in both of those.

An Orb Veil

Photo date: Sept 18, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below while photographing nothing but pure, clean drops of water falling against a dark background. We see another example of what I call an orb veil.  See here for hundreds of examples.

I have classified 18 types of these strange objects, as shown in the grid below. This example seems like an instance of the semi-circular type.

The Strangeness on Her Shoulders

Photo date: September 20, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In the photo below which I took at Grand Central Terminal in New York, we see a mysterious blue orb that rather seems to be making a fleeting appearance on the shoulders of a woman.

The Orb's Letter "L"

Photo date: September 18, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Lately I have been getting lots of letter shapes in the mysterious orbs I photograph, such as two cases of the letter "H" and two cases of the letter "T" (as shown here).  In the photo below (which I took at Grand Central Terminal in New York) we see a letter "L" on the left of a blue orb. The orb appeared at the top upper edge of the photo, so I don't know what was at the top of the orb.

Edge Enigmas

Photo date: September 18, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below show two mysterious orbs I photographed at Grand Central Terminal in New York. The top orb has a strange stripe. Note how both of the orbs are aligned to the edge of one of the windows at the station. I have taken hundreds of photos of mysterious orbs aligning to structural lines and edges at this location.

The Second "Orb Twin" Appeared 8 Hours After the First

The photos below show two mysterious orbs I photographed on September 18, 2017.  The first one I photographed in the Queens area of New York City, and the second one I photographed in Grand Central Terminal in New York. Note the astonishing similarity. In both orbs we see a letter "H" in which the right "leg" of the H is curving to the right.  In between taking these photos I took many other photos which showed no orbs and no such "H."

This is the second day on which I have photographed two mysterious orbs both having the same exact same stripe pattern, one that looked like a letter of the alphabet.  The previous time this happened was on September 5, 2017, as recorded in this post.  On that day I got the two orbs shown below, both having a "T" shape inside them.

Such cases (in which the exact same very distinctive orb pattern is repeated on the same day) seem to be a dramatic new wrinkle in the ever-more-astonishing orb phenomenon. It is rather hard not to interpret such cases as being a signalling effect involving some external unfathomable intelligence.

The repeated "H" pattern is one of of 23 recurring patterns I have noticed in mysterious orbs I have photographed. The grid below summarizes each of these patterns, and how many times each have been photographed. Click here to see multiple examples of each of these patterns.

Did the Spirit Orb's "H" Stand for "Haunted"?

Photo date: September 18, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I rarely use the term "spirit orb" to describe orbs I photograph; I prefer the more neutral term "mysterious orb." But when I get something as stunning as the photo below,  descriptive restraint does not seem appropriate.  I have four times previously photographed the letter "T" in a mysterious orb, and four times photographed the letter "J" in such an orb (as you can see here). But this is the first time that the letter "H" has shown up inside an orb I photographed.  This orb appeared while I was photographing a featureless wall indoors, and the orb had an apparent size of about a basketball.  The next and previous photos showed no such anomaly -- no orb and no such letter "H."

Sometimes Striped, Sometimes Speeding

Photo date: September 16, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below show three mysterious orbs I photographed indoors. The one on the left is the 20th time I have photographed a mysterious orb with a stripe in one of its corners. This "corner chord" pattern is one of 22 recurring patterns I have identified in mysterious orbs I have photographed (you can see examples of all of the patterns here).

The Orb's Double Alignment

Photo date: September 16, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed in Grand Central Terminal.in New York.  At this location I have hundreds of times photographed mysterious orbs aligning to architectural lines. In this case both the top and the right of the orb are aligning to an architectural line.

The Spooky Walkway Got Spookier

Photo date: September 15, 2017. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below at a park area that I call "the spooky walkway" because when I photograph it, I get a kind of "vanishing into the darkness" effect. On this night this spooky walkway was made spookier by the appearance of a mysterious orange orb.

Sky Orbs with Red Auras

The photos below show sky orbs I photographed on September 15, 2017, September 12, 2017, and August 25, 2017.  The photo on the left  is the 28th mysterious orb I have photographed with such a diagonal slash stripe, stretching from the top right corner of the orb to the bottom left corner of the orb.  Of the 22 recurring patterns I have noticed in mysterious orbs (shown here), this pattern is the one that occurs most frequently.

She Also Got an Orb with a Shadow Stripe

I have photographed 300+ mysterious striped orbs. I'm not the only one who gets them. I noticed that on this page of orb photos by Peggy Weber,  the last photo on the page is a photo of a striped orb. In fact, if you click on the photo, and look closely, you can see that the striped orb has a "shadow stripe" in which there is a thick stripe and a thin stripe above and below the thick stripe.  I have photographed 30 mysterious orbs with this type of "shadow stripe," as shown here.

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed indoors, one with a diagonal slash stripe. I have 25 times previously photographed mysterious orbs with this type of stripe looking like a diagonal slash, as you can see here. Much less common is the backslash pattern, which I have only photographed 7 times.
